"A practical guide for any professional participating in self-studies for accreditation applications. Topics addressed include standards, the role of the librarian in the accreditation visit, and approaches to reporting on areas such as governance, collections, and finance. Selected complete self-studies are included." ISBN 0-942740-20-3

"Information Competencies for Students in Design Disciplines, for the first time, compiles a list of core information literacy skills for students. Divided into basic, intermediate, and advanced skills in each design discipline, this set of competencies is an invaluable aid to librarians as they strive to define and delimit information literacy skills for students in design disciplines. These competencies are intended to facilitate a systematic means of integrating information literacy skills into the core curriculum of design students, as well as to open lines of communication with faculty as to how competencies can be integrated into specific course goals."

"An invaluable tool that guides art librarians and visual resource professionals through the issues and challenges of creating competency standards and allied curricula. This resource includes the ARLIS/NA core competency guidelines for art information professionals, bibliographies, and a selection of papers on management and competencies related to the visual resources profession. Also included are course materials, descriptions and curricula outlines from exemplary LIS programs focusing on arts, humanities, museum, and digital librarianship." ISBN 0-942740-21-1
